Bleacher Report
Bears coach Ben Johnson named Tyson Bagent the starting quarterback for Week 5 against the Packers after alternates Keenum and Bagent helped the team win consecutive games to reach 3-1. Williams’ injury, described as a Grade 2 hamstring setback that could sideline him for three to four weeks, has created a quarterback carousel as Chicago navigates the season without their presumed franchise leader. Bagent led a 23-12 victory over the Jets, while Keenum had a strong 27-7 win over the Eagles, signaling a shift in the offense as they pursue a tighter NFC North race. The team faces momentum concerns and must balance the offense’s evolving dynamics with Williams’ return timetable, aiming to sustain relevance in a competitive division.
